It's slightly comforting to know i'm not the only one

I don't see much similarities between them. Sure, both are against violence, but Basara was mostly against himself using violence. He never questioned the Diamond Force as far as I know. He just didn't want to kill other beings. His goal was for everyone to listen to his song.

And we only share 25? I don't understand how the thing works.

There is very little. Maybe one more scene showing you what happened after, a few mentions and being somewhat connected to some other characters. You'd think by the introduction that he'd be a bigger deal. I think the majority of the next few episodes should be fighting so that's good.

I just hated how she flip flopped between good and bad, but so did everyone in that show.
I actually haven't seen GSD, I'm not even gonna bother from the things I've heard and if people say it has more stock footage than SEED, good lord. Plus the character designs and everything. The second 00 movie started off alright but yeah this is whatever, SEED and 00... bleh.
Wow that set looks badass. maybe can't hurt for the price. I watched both movies quite awhile back so I still haven't seen them in blu ray, definitely looking forward to that.
For some reason this one didn't go through...

By the way, Patlabor BD's hitting stateside already this year, forgot if that was news all over but I swear it was like they just randomly popped up on Amazon. The OVA is out and the series is out in July, hopefully we get the movies and second OVA too. Would be epic owning everything.
Even the BD rips of the series look insane, I'm not sure which OP I like more between it and the OVA.

So yeah, even with you blasting through both seasons, your experience and issues are pretty much the same as mine were. A lot of that info reminds me of everything pretty much. That Chinese arc was the biggest drag for me while it aired and Li sucked ass along with 90% of the rest of the cast, and yeah like you said most of season 2 did absolutely nothing worthwhile in moving the story forward, until the end with the Black Knights and Schneizel stuff.
You agree Kallen sucked in the long run? She went full retard for sure. And I forgot about Rolo, looking at the list here... fuck that guy. His face made me wanna turn off the episodes instantly. Orange was probably the only character, in the entire thing, that was consistently solid. Everyone else can die in a fire!
I think the Geass idea would have been alright and pretty cool, but it was obviously way too powerful and needed a much more intense drawback. How about taking 10 years of his life everytime he uses it or something crazy like that.
It's funny Midnight Eye Goku has a similar thing, but was a bit cooler. You'll dig that one, from the Cobra creator and all.
Yeaaaaaaah, second thoughts on rewatching it haha.
00 on the other hand knows what it is and doesn't stray, just falls short with lame characters, and retreads on SO many UC tropes in the second season that it really threw away the original ideas the first season presented. The second was straight up by the book Zeta left and right, just not as good obviously. I always heard GSD in the same way... why not hit that one up next? Sounds like the best of the best.
*turns on HxH*
*yawns*

I think that song plays during that part and the more memorable scene to me, the opening when you see Motoko being constructed. Awesome stuff.
Not much to say about Geass, haha. I figure you might like 00 more, even though it probably has less exciting characters across the board, it's at least more consistently serious I guess with way more mecha.
I can never forget the part where King Brittania lost his legs or something? But magically tried to reach forward and grab Lelouch, or something like that... I have no idea other than it was like out of nowhere the series had magic (outside of the Geass abilities, which boy got out of hand in season 2? lol)
I definitely think you'd like Planetes then if you dig the realism to Patlabor. Planetes is the only thing I can really compare it to and vice versa, you could say Planetes is like an expanded take on the Wings of Honneamise somewhat. Plus I think it'd be hilarious to see what you think of it coming from the Geass director... when he has more control and competent writers he can do great. Geass' production sounded like the biggest trainwreck I've ever heard, they made it clear at one point they came up with episodes and the plot by the week, and Goro didn't get to do what he originally planned (wanted it to be 50 episodes, no reboot like the start of season 2, etc), and for awhile sounded like he was ready to quit anime. Sunrise and the writers pretty much had full control. Gun x Sword is pretty similar with a crappy shift focusing on the lame villains in the second half, I remember Hisoka thought the same... but the director struck gold with Infinite Ryvius and Planetes for me.

*Sigh* So far I'd say the anime version of this arc has only been half a grade point better than the manga. I think it will all depend on how much better the action is handled when we get to the legit fights. Everything happening now in the story is completely pointless. A lot of these characters both human and ant won't matter at all pretty soon. The Gyro dude never does a damn thing lol. At least this episode covered 2 and a half chapters worth so that's an improvement.

Cobra's original VA should have done a lot more, he was awesome. RIP... He stood out enough for me even in Ai City, pretty random OVA but awesome character/voice.
Yeah I forgot to reply about you saying I'm all over Patlabor 2, but really I'm not so much, I just love the music and feel of the movie, but I'm open for a rewatch when I get through everything again and figure I'll like it more. I would highly recommend holding off on that one until after you've seen the series, I think that route would be better. Some of my friends thought I was nuts saying I liked the first movie more though, but I stand by that statement to this day for the most part, so yeah I enjoyed the first movie when it was my initial exposure to the series. 2 is just odd though and a mood thing like the GITS movies, and arguably more politics and less mecha than the first movie.
At the very least I'm pretty sure Physica told me the second OVA is a sequel to the series/movies, so that should be last. And the third movie is universally hated upon and maybe even officially non-canon, I think it was made by a bunch of different people or something, really tacked on and pointless, I have no idea, but nobody seems to like it. The OST is great though and I'll have to see it someday anyways.
When you can have hair like this and not give a fuck... hell yeah Kenji Kawai

Haha yeah that was probably the funniest part to me, alongside the "who are these people" jokes... really sums it up with those. Tomino compilations make more sense. lol
You can probably tell with King Britannia, but I honestly think Wakamoto isn't what he used to be. Especially comparing his redub of Cell and the likes, he sounds straight up drunk or something thesedays... I liked his more mellow performances of the old 80/90's stuff, he came off more sinister and whatnot. His character in LOGH, is like comparing David Hayter's acting in the original MGS, very natural and not overdone in the least... and it turned out awesome. That alongside Cell (he changes it up dramatically with each form) are easily my favorites from him.
All that said like I just mentioned on Hisoka's wall, I'd say Alexander is hands down one of the best roles of his I've heard in awhile. Maybe it's just the characters that never work thesedays, but his performance is a fucking perfect match for it. Amazing.
